Mr.. Brady, once a bench men of
Malone, handles the Boss With
gloves off in IL letter published in
This issue. We give it to our read :
ers as further proof, if any more is
needed Of the despicable meaunpss
of the little tvrant. Another phase
of the character Of the Boss is seen
also, in the whine put forth by him
for failure to participate in the Lee
monument ceremonies, to which Il
rerutation of the charges made by
him Is appended. The Boss, for
once in his life. showed good taste
in not accepting The invitation eX-
tended him and if he had given-aS
a reason, that nothing with which
the name of Lee was associated
Should be contaminated by his foul
touch, the people Of Virginia would
have approved the utterance. The
people of Virginia are to be con
graduated, that lie decided to al.
sent himself on the occasion and
are not disappointed at the whine
b. which he attempts to further
his political prospects, as the falsi-
ty of the charge made by him
proves.
Can any virginian who reveres
the memory of Leo desire such a
creature as their, next U. S. Sena,

A Letter From Former Hcnchman Of
Malone.

PETERSBURG, VA, Oct.10. 1887.
Mr.. Fl. c. Brightwell, Prospect, Va:
My dear sir: Accept my hearty
congratulations over the manly
stand YOU have taken for the over
throw Of the some man power"
which hats done So much to dis
rupt the Republican party in this
State. When the old Republicans
of Virginia coalesced With the Re
adiuster party none of us supposed
that one man would or could usurp
the entire organization in his OWL
interest, and that the power con-
ferred upon him would be so manin
ulated as to make that one
man supreme dictator of everybody
and everything connected with the
party.
We Loyalty supported Malone as
our leader, because we believed that
1T would benefit our party IN this
State aud The country at large, but
in the hard school Of experience we
haze been convinced of our great
mistake, and now, in order to save
the party from utter destruction,
we have determined to overthrow
his selfish, tyranncal and unrepnh-
lican leadership. Every Rcpubli-
can, no matter how long, how &C
tivply and faithfully he NAV have
served the party, is completely ig-
nored, and every effort iS'nade to
drive him outof the party, unless
he is willing to sacrifice his self
respect and manhood and quietly
submit to this one man'simper'ous
will in all party matters.
could fill a large volume with
the record of his deeds, showing
how he has used the party's power
and influence to advance his OWL
personal and political fortunes
Last year he issued his famous self.
interest treaty of peace edlct, signed
AS chairman, declaring that MIR.
Gaines was the regular nominee
for Congress in this district. A
prominent Republican OF this city
openly opposed Mr.. Gaines candl-
tlacy, and he did not vote for HIM
on election day. Thereby, accord
ing to Mahone's ruling, he became
Il bolter and party diSorganizer.-
Not long thereafter the Safe. com
mittee was called to meet at Ma
homes private residence, and at
his suggestion this identical pei
son was elected a member of the
State executive C, mmitt Q. tie high
CIT and most responsible position

not so regarded under the present
autocratic leadership.

appears, however, that the chair

Very Wholesome advice TO the Field
Marshall and Little Benny.
Nav Vork


Field Marshal Murat Halstead and
Field Mouse Foraker of Ohio have
hysteria over the fact that the noble
Anglo-SaXon of the South, has more
political influence than the African of
that region. That Is to be regretted, if
we look at it from Republican point
of view. We can see but one remedy,
and that is for the Republicans of the
North to make themselves friends with
the Anglo-Saxon of the South. If, in
stead of waving the ensanguined under
veal. and continuously heaping abuse
Oh the Southern people, these bloody
minded Pistols and Bardolphs of the
Buckeye State would speak them fair
and show some little interest in their
affairs they might have Republican
party In every State at the South.
This Field Marshal Mumt tried when
he Joined with the South In the nomi-
nation of Greeley. Then Field Marshal
M. ate with them and drank with
them. He put his loving arms about
their necks and said they were right
good fellows, and his journal sang
sweet songs of fraternal love and peace.
What has happened since to change ali
this? Or is our Murat most delicate
monster, like unto Caliban, possessed
of two voices? His forward voice now
Is to speak Well Of his friends; his back
ward voice is to utter foul speeches and
to detract.u

Am Imperious Necessity.

The Philadelphia Times, which favors
protective tariff: Revenue Reduction
is an imperious necessity. 1t is not a
mere political necessity, it is an abso-
lutte business. The commerce, indus
try and trade of the nation cannot be
conducted another year with an annual
surplus revenue ofnearly 100000, 900.
The vast and varied business opera
tions of the country would be hopeless
ly crippled with two or three hundred
millions of the money of the nation
boarded up in the Treasury, and there is
now no method within the discretiona-
ry power of the Government te trans.
fer surplus money into business chan
nels. The last bonds which could be
anticipated in payment have been re-
deemed, and the accumulated money
OF the Treasury must now remain there
unless diverted back into business
channels by Congress. We narrowly
escaped financial panic only few
monthsago, and If revenue reduction
shall not be effected, and eighty or a
hundred millions more shall be drawn
from business to be boarded in the
Treasury, escape from panic and gen.
eral financial distress next year will be
impossible.

Quite number of gentlemen from
Grand Rapids were in town last week; among

Mr.. Foor.
....P. B. Seitz was the first man in town
to get natural gas connected with his resi-
dence; he also has dandy street gas light in

town in Henry county to use natural CASTOR
fuel. Bring on your factories and grist mills
if you want cheap fuel.
Mcclure has gained quite reputation
as shipping point for live stock this fall;
IL car loads of hogs and 8 car loads of live
poultry and more to follow, and besides live
stock the grain and stave shipments are con-
siderable.
The citizens were startled TINS morning
about o'clock by the cry of fire, and upon
gaining the street located the blaze at the
residence of Fred. Collenbeck, which was en-
tirely consumed. Nearly all Of the contents
were saved; no insurance; defective fue.
We invite Fred Aller to size up the ad-
vantages of Mcclure as location for the fac
tory to manufacture the Baker Wind Power
Pump and Mill. Cheap fuel, cheap lumber
and building material; good shipping facili-
ties and everything else to make this the best

The positions of the two great politi-
cal parties upon the one absorbing
national question tariff taxation, are
as follows:
The Republican party will advocate
the repeal of the tax upon tobacco and
whisky. In this the party will be as
sisted by the Randall faction of the
Democratic party.
The Democratic party will favor a re-
adjustment of the tariff, so that the in
come Of the government will not ex-
ceed the amount necessary to economic
ally administer the same, by cutting
down the tariff taxes upon the necessa-
ries of life and maintaining those upon
luxuries leaving the tax upon whisky
and tobacco unmolested.
This position proposes to cheaper
living, not by cheapening whisky and
tobacco and thus encouraging their
greater use, but by reducing the tax
upon those staples entering into the
list of articles necessary to the daily
maintenance of the family of the
,laboring man, and the poor washer
woman.
1t is not evident that the removal Of
the tax upon tobacco and whisky will
do otherwise than deplete the treasury
of the surplus and increase the con-
sumption of those articles SO that the
liefmust forcibly impress itself upon
/ the mind that such a course will not
prove benefit, but will prove curse.
| There Is no tax that Would be paid as
cheerfully as Is the tax upon whisky
and tobacco. The sum brought into
| the treasury through this channel year
| ly is immense, and should be left undis.
turbed. But the tax upon the neces.
saries of life should be reduced, and the
money left in the pockets of the people
